To my brother (Your journey seems so long)

I remember your smile, the way you dress,
Full of yourself, full of life
Your kind heart even when I could not hear
It thumping, I remember us celebrating
Our natal day with friends near & far
I remember your way of making delightful
Meals to fill hearts with love and then as
I write this poetic thought I remember
Your journey, my journey that made us
Part, made us vex, made us not wanting
To know each other again, that took
That left me not wanting to speak,
Wanting to laugh, not wanting to feel,
Reacquaint with this new world,
Not wanting to love again, as your journey
And my journey felt so unfair,
Felt so hard, until I heard your voice,
That made my heart smile, laugh
And I felt you, vision your beautiful
Face, smile as if you were right here
With me Again-I remember you my
Brave brother.
